graphtec

So I need help. I’ve done research and tried to fix this. But I can not seem to figure this out. Emailed Graphtec support, no reply yet to my inquiry. I have a Graphtec FC8000-160. Having issues with the contour feature cutting accurately as it cuts multiple stickers. First few cuts great then...

Hello All - I currently have an FC8600 that we've had for about 5 years. We purchased it from a company online (US Cutter) and the support has been non-existant (which I kinda expected from them, they are pretty much just an online company, not a distributor with local support, etc.). We've...

I am fairly new to using this machine and we didn't get much support setting it up. Lately I have been having issues with it cutting contours accurately. In the attached photos the text should have an even outline but as you can see it is off center to the left. We use registration marks and...

Hey all, Just curious if anyone has input or advice for creating crop marks for my prints that I am outputting on my Epson printer, to cut on a Roland GR-640 cutter? I typically add the crop marks in Illustrator via the Cut Studio plugin, however they appear to vary a bit from the marks that...

I have a Graphtec FC8600 and I am using Flexi 12. When I send a cut it gives the message OFF SCALE. Plotter just stops there. I have tried: Rebooting both computer and plotter (both several times) Different files, as simple as just plotting ABC. Deleting and reinstalling driver in Flexi manager...

Hi ya all, Having a print & cut issue, sending the file that is about 8ft long, laminated to the Vinyl Express (Graphtec). Have plenty of space in the sides, etc. but it is refusing to read the last set of marks at the bottom of the file. Tried putting some matte scotch tape, etc., just in...

I specifically need a solenoid from the penblock, or penblock whole. Looking to see if anyone has one of these that's down from a mainboard issue, or another issue unrelated to the cut-head. Thanks in advance, please respond to this ad, or PM.

I'm trying to perf cut some backlit PET film media and the material seems to be slipping even when just feeding it through the cutter. I'm using a Graphtec FC8600-130 cutter and media is LexJet Simple Premium Gloss Backlit Film. This cutter seems to work just fine on other materials like...

Hey everyone, We're new to owning a Graphtec/using a plotter for digital prints and not just cut vinyl. The model we have is the 64" FC8600 and we've had it for only a couple months after buying it at the SGIA. I'm now starting to play with it so that I know the functions well and won't have...

Hello, I have printed on General Formulations 212 and laminated with GF 211. I placed the 36" circle graphic in our Graphtec 8600 and got a jagged edge when cutting. I have attached a picture of the cut. Tool: CB09U Speed: 12 cm/s Acceleration: 1 Cut Force: 35 Cutter Perforation: 8mm / 0.35mm...

We are using Cutmaster, It will read the registration marks up to a certain height then just stop and give us a mark read error, Its really weird. Is there a size limit to how tall you can make a cut graphic?

I am looking for a media basket for the FC7000-100. Graphtec doesn't have any parts and refuses to sell me the fc8600-100. Any help is appreciated!

Just picked up a new Summa S2 T160 with OPOS-CAM. Upgraded from an old vinyl express Q160. Does anyone here use a Summa for custom die cut stickers? I've previously used a Graphtec FC8600 that had dual positioning for perf cuts. I don't see anything like this on the Summa. The manual...

I have a HP Z6200 Designjet and a Graphtec FC8600-160 for sale. The Designjet has error 11:10 and needs a new trailing cable fix it. $2000 OBO The Graphtec needs a new carriage assembly(about $500). $3500 OBO Buyer can pick up. Otherwise buyer must arrange shipping.

Newb here to large format (screen print background) but we're putting together an innercity middle school print shop afterschool program. 100% committed to HP 115, but I'm wondering about opinions on the Print & Cut solution, and I'm not seeing any in the forum (and I'm betting somebody will...

Apologies for the lengthy post but I know there have been a few posts on the Y Position Error on Graphtec plotters from time to time and I wanted to share this hoping it may help some of you that encounter this problem. I feel your frustration! Good news is, your plotter might just be dirty and...

In Search of Sign Shop to buy. Looking for a shop going out of business or one looking to get rid of old equipment that is in good condition. Wanting to buy all the equipment and tools needed to start a successful sign shop. Hoping to find all tools and equipment in one place. Preferred...

I am in the process of pricing 54" plotters and just noticed that from Sign Warehouse the Q54 with LXi Master Plus is more expensive than an actual Graphtec FC8600-130 also with LXi Master Plus. How does this make any sense? Is the Q-Series not a Graphtec knock off? Shouldn't it be cheaper?

I have both ONXY and Flexi that I can use. Just want to strip cut after each row is cutcontour, is there a setting for this the be defined PerfCut, CutContour, etc... Never use CM3 or CM4 since we get good cuts from Onyx, but have some small policial stuff and be nice to not have to cut it all...

Our company just added a new plotter, a Summa S2 T140. Beautiful machine. However, I was running a Graphtech before with Cutting Master 4. CM4 had an option for a weed border and weed lines where available. However, the software that comes with the Summa, Winplot, doesn't seem to have that...
